The Houston Astros were seeing 55% of the action in their game against the Tampa Bay Rays. While not a huge exposure, this game was seeing decent enough volume to make the 55/45 ratio a little bit more of an exposure than is typical. Houston is a -142 favorite here.
Tampa Bay has won six of the last ten in this series.
The Astros are actually 5-13 in the last 18 meetings in Tampa Bay.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Charlie Morton (10-1, 2.54 ERA) vs. Rays LH Blake Snell (10-4, 2.31)
Morton rebounded from two straight tough outings to win his last three starts while allowing four runs (three earned) on 10 hits and 10 walks over 19 innings combined. He is 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA in his career against the Rays.
Snell held Washington to one hit and worked around four walks across seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts last Monday for his sixth win in his last seven decisions. He is 5-1 with a 0.81 ERA in seven home starts this year.
